Sally Peterson

After 35 years at UCI, Sally Peterson retired from her official job as dean of students, assistant vice chancellor of student affairs — and, unofficially, university den mother, cheerleader, enforcer, negotiator, coach and mentor. During her tenure, Peterson played a major role in campus life, initiating activities, programs and policies that helped UCI's student affairs office become a model for other universities. A Web tribute and campus celebration were staged in Peterson's honor.
